Primary outcomePrimary: Efficacy of the Aprepitant/Ramosetron/Dexamethasone Regimen in Terms of the Proportion of Patients With a Complete Response (CR) During the 120 Hour Following Initiation of Chemotherapy. — 89.4 Percentage of Participants
Summary
The current recommended guideline for patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) is the combination of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and corticosteroid. Incidence of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is approximately 50% in patients receiving MEC. An incidence rate of 25-38% for delayed emesis and 55-60% for delayed nausea has been observed. Hence, there is clearly a need for more effective prevention of CINV in patients receiving MEC, especially in women with ovarian carcinoma who are particularly susceptible to these symptoms. Therefore the investigators designed a study with the objective to evaluate if new combination (Aprepitant/Ramosetron/Dexamethasone) may improve actual CINV control in ovarian carcinoma patients treated with taxane/carboplatin.
